Kathryn Nicholas — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 03:14:19 +0000

The new Water Research Australia website is now live! Located at the same address – www.waterra.com.au – our new website includes an upgraded Member Portal that will become your destination to collaborate, innovate and make an impact with the WaterRA BIG Team: https://members.waterra.com.au

This launch is the first stage of our digital transformation, ensuring our members receive a better experience. Both the new website and Member Portal have been designed to be faster, easier to navigate, more user-friendly, and more secure.

Some of the great new features include:

A completely redesigned user interface and layout to enhance your online experience
An improved online catalogue for WaterRA’s research projects to make searching for your favourite project easier
A new online payments system for easier event registration
And more!

This upgrade has taken a huge effort to achieve and this level of work will continue as we refine the website to provide you with more functionality and tools into the future.

As you login to our Member Portal for the first time, please follow these instructions. We’ve also created a list of FAQs to help you navigate our new systems.

If you have any ideas or feedback we would value your input and this can be emailed to [email protected]
